Looking for an orthodontist in Huntington? We're proud to care for patients of all ages from Huntington and the surrounding communities, from kids getting their first braces to adults who are finally ready for the smile they've been putting off.
Why see an orthodontist instead of a general dentist to straighten your teeth? Orthodontists complete additional years of specialized training after dental school, focused entirely on how teeth and jaws line up. That training is what lets us build a plan that improves how your smile looks and how your bite works.

Your Huntington Orthodontist
Orthodontics runs in the Sheinis family. Dr. Sheinis, the son of an orthodontist, grew up in South Florida. After spending many years watching his father transform smiles, he decided to follow in his footsteps.
Dr. Sheinis received a Bachelor's Degree in Science from Tulane University in New Orleans before attending dental school at the University of Maryland. He graduated with high honor and received numerous awards.
During his orthodontic residency at Stony Brook University in New York, Dr. Sheinis carried out extensive research on impacted canines and their side effects, as seen with 3D imaging. His significant findings were ultimately published in the American Journal of Orthodontics.
Dr. Sheinis is dedicated to staying current in his field. He regularly attends continuing education lectures and seminars to stay up to date with the newest technology and techniques available.
Huntington Braces
Traditional braces are one of the most efficient orthodontic tools we have. The metal or ceramic brackets are attached to the teeth, then connected by wires and tiny rubber bands or elastics. Through regular adjustments with Dr. Sheinis, these components work together to apply gentle pressure, which will gradually move the teeth into the desired positions.
Braces are an excellent choice for correcting a number of tooth issues, from simple to complex. Because they sometimes work faster at closing gaps and aligning teeth than other options might, overall treatment time can be slightly reduced. If you'd rather nobody see your braces at all, InSmile lingual braces sit on the back of your teeth where they stay hidden.
Huntington Invisalign Clear Aligners
Rather than brackets and bands, the Invisalign and Solventum Clarity clear aligners systems use a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually move the teeth into alignment. This option is incredibly popular with both patients and orthodontists and is currently the top alternative to traditional braces.
Clear aligners are made of a comfortable plastic material and designed to fit snugly over the patient's teeth. The trays are virtually invisible and are usually switched out every 1-2 weeks for the next in the series. This keeps the teeth moving in the right direction! Aligners must be worn 20 to 22 hours per day throughout treatment in order for them to do their job. Patients who neglect to wear the aligners as directed can have a negative impact on the results and also add time to the orthodontic process.
Invisalign clear aligners are at their most efficient when used to correct many of the most common orthodontic issues. For certain complex cases, clear aligners may not be a viable option. A free consultation with Shiney Smiles Orthodontics will be able to help determine your eligibility for clear aligners.
